A New Year Resolution that I plan to keep in 2011 is a photo diary of my year. Since Olivia and Ava are growing up too quickly, I would like to capture as many memories as possible. Hence my project 365. 2011 is going to be another year full of surprises for us with the girls starting daycare and the prospect of me returning to work plus my family moving back home. I am sure there will be plenty more adventures to come this year.

Day 282 - Better late than never
Last year I started sewing an advent calendar, I promised myself that I would finish it before this Christmas. Well with 11 weeks until Christmas, I had better get a wriggle on! So I went on an adventure to spotlight this afternoon to find some backing fabric and batting. I have sewn these on and now to sew the binding and get a piece of dowel to hang it up with. Hopefully I will be finished in time. The girls don't often give me time to sew, and with Olivia deciding that she doesn't always want a sleep at lunchtime, so my quiet creative time is not sufficient at the moment.
Funny thing is I bought another advent calendar block from the Quilt and Craft fair in August. I wonder how long that one will take me to complete?

I think your advent calendar will look fantastic... I remember seeing it last year when you were working on it :-)
